enAdding back Skyrocket screensaver to Xubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/Adding_back_rss-glx_Skyrocket_screensaver_to_Xubuntu_12.04_Precise-Pangolin
<p>I knew how to add my favorite screensaver, Skyrocket, to Xubuntu based on having researched it before: <a href="http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/Adding_back_Skyrocket_screen_saver_to_Ubuntu_9.10_Karmic-Koala" title="http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/Adding_back_Skyrocket_screen_saver_to_Ubuntu_9.10_Karmic-Koala">http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/Adding_back_Skyrocket_screen_saver_to_Ub...</a> However this time, the Really Slick Screensavers GLX Port entries did not show up in the list of screensavers. So I went searching how to get them to become available.</p>
<p>I discovered in this file:</p>
<div class="sourcecode">
/usr/share/doc/rss-glx/README.xscreensaver
</div>
<p>that I should perform the following:</p>
<div class="sourcecode">
$ ps aux|grep xscreensaver

<p>There seems to be a bug in Ubuntu in that when you reboot the system all remote CUPS printer connections are forgotten. This sounded like something needing a bit of scripting magic, so I went searching for how to accomplish that. Turns out it was quite simple actually. The utility lpadmin will be your friend to command line administer printers / print queues. The first lpadmin command attaches to the CUPS shared network printer queue via the IPP protocol, and the second lpadmin command sets the printer as the system default.</p>

<p>Recently I ran into a situation where a Perl CPAN module I needed was not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Someone on IRC kindly showed me a slick Ubuntu package which is able to quickly produce Ubuntu .deb packages out of Perl CPAN modules! Here is what you need to know:</p>
<p>Using a developer computer (aka "play box") add the following packages:</p>
<div class="sourcecode">
$sudo apt-get install dh-make-perl build-essential
</div>
<p>Next use dh-make-perl to package the needed CPAN module:</p>
